Gallon Settings
The model 9000 valve regenerates with soft water from the other tank, you must subtract the water used for regeneration.If 1000
gallons are available then you must subtract the regeneration water used from the total water available.
If there are 1000 gallons available subtract the regeneration water used from total water available.
1000 gallons available – 51 gallons used = 949 gallons returning (in regeneration)
The meter wheel should be set at 950 gallons. Lift the inner dial of the meter program wheel (Fig. 4) so that it rotates freely.
Position the white dot opposite the 950 gallon setting.
•
Insert meter cable into the meter.
• Check bypass.
• Plug in unit.
Sanitizing Procedure
A water softener in daily use on a potable water supply generally requires no special attention other than keeping the salt tank
filled. Occasionally, however, a unit may require sanitization under one of the following conditions:
•
At start-up time.
• After standing idle for a week or more.
• On private supplies, the appearance of off-tastes and odors, particularly if musty or “rotten egg” (caused by harmless sulfate-
reducing bacteria).
Note: If the water supply contains iron, regenerate the softener before sanitizing to remove iron from the resin.
Caution! Hazard from toxic fumes! Chlorine bleach and common iron control chemicals may generate toxic fumes
when mixed.
• If the unit uses culligan Sofner-Gard
® or other compounds containing sodium hydrosulfite, sodium bisulfite, or
any other reducing agent, disconnect the device feeding the chemical(s) and manually regenerate the unit before
sanitizing.
• Do not use this procedure if the softener salt contains iron control additives.
